Question

dr. perez is part of a team of researchers who are working on designing and building a probe to study solar flares. what condition must the probe meet? it must be able to travel over 300,000,000 km to reach the sun. it must be able to withstand a temperature of up to 20 million degrees celsius. it must be able to penetrate to the core since solar flares originate there. it must be able to remain in the sun for at least eleven years.

Explanation:

Solar flares release extreme amounts of energy, reaching temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius. A probe studying them must tolerate these high temperatures. Earth's distance to the Sun is ~150 million km, so 300 million km is incorrect; solar flares originate in the Sun's corona, not the core, and there is no 11-year requirement for such a probe.

Answer:

B. It must be able to withstand a temperature of up to 20 million degrees Celsius.
